Commendable

I have tried pluging the card into the 3rd PCEI slot but cannot see it in the bios or when I load linux, I have also tried it in one of the smaller slots still not showing, has anyone used one of these cards and got it working? thanks

I'm guessing you have the MAXIMUS VIII HERO as there is no Asus Hero V111 mobo. The motherboard already has M.2 x4 Socket 3, with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage device support (both SATA & PCIE mode). I don't see what you need an adapter for.

NVMe SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector.

What drive do you have installed for it? Are you planning on using it as boot drive?

Hi Thanks for the reply yes the Asus Hero VIII mobo - I have an EVO 970 as my main drive in the M.2 slot I run Linux, not windows - I bought a PCEI expansion card as per my original post to add an additional card however the card is not showing in the bios or after I boot into Linux

The additional M.2 drive is a liteon which I was using originally before I got the EVO drive so I know the drive works - I have set the 3rd slot to X4 but after reboot, I don't see the drive listed... is there a setting in the bios I have missed? should I try reinstalling Linux see if the drive gets detected during the install?
